    FBI finds ‘scant’ evidence Capitol riot was centrally organized plot.
    Washington Examiner (Moderate Right) • Factual Grade 82% • 4 min read

    [The FBI] also [found] that “investigators did find that cells of protesters, including followers of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups, had aimed to break into the Capitol, [but] no evidence that the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside.”
    ...
    The Justice Department said earlier this month that more than 570 defendants have been arrested in the Capitol riot investigations. 175 defendants have been charged with “assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees,” including more than 55 defendants charged with “using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.”
    ...
    One source said there has been little to no recent talk at the higher levels of the Justice Department about filing charges in the realm of seditious conspiracy and that racketeering charges have also been decided against. No charges related to an individual or group playing “a central role in organizing or leading the riot” appear to be pending.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - It is a congregate environment. Viruses spread easily there, as has been demonstrated. It is either this or learn remote, which is not feasible for some types of learning (eg labs) or desirable long term. What gets forgotten in attending college is not a right like K-12. If you want the education, you have to play by the rules of the institution you choose to attend.


No - I fully support vaccination and took care of it myself as soon as possible. I thi...
